It may seem like armchair common sense to you, but I doubt any medical facility in the entire country would prescribe a ketogenic diet for those patients because there isn't a hard scientific basis to do so. Also going from insulin resistant to schizophrenia/bipolar is a bit of a surprise.
So this is important work. It'll also be interesting to see if it replicates and generalizes.
- heyoni 3y agoThere is some evidence out there that links insulin resistance to depression via BDNF depletion, which is also implicated in schizophrenia. BDNF is also thought to be up regulated by exercise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-derived_neurotrophic_factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-derived_neurotrophic_fac...
